I recommend this book, "The Journey of Sword and Three Kingdoms". You can probably understand the style of the book from the name... Seedlings, everyone can take good care of them.

————————I am the dividing line with full breast power————————

Shangshutai is also known as Zhongtai and Taige. Both of these nicknames are derived from its location in the center of the South Palace.

Putting aside the time of the great court meetings, on weekdays, the emperor in the North Palace, the Shangshu Desk in the South Palace, and the Huangmen system, usually filled by eunuchs, were responsible for connecting the inside and outside and conveying the will. Together they formed the central governing foundation of this huge empire... quite a bit.

Somewhat trinitarian feeling.

In fact, just as the Huangmen system was the prototype of the future ceremonial supervisors, the Shangshutai, an institution established by Emperor Guangwu Liu Xiu, was also the prototype of the future cabinet. Its power and responsibilities were unquestionable, because it represented the empire.

authority in a centralized system.

What needs to be pointed out in particular is that this central agency, which oversees government affairs and can even issue orders to the three public servants, is like a supervisory system and is a typical example of condescending!

Of course, it can be regarded as a certain characteristic of the Later Han Dynasty.

Among them, the dignified Shangshu Ling is actually only a rank of 1,000 shi, and his deputy, Shangshu Pushe, is 600 shi; the Liucao Shangshu, who also holds real power, is also 600 shi... However, the emperor usually increases the rank of these powerful men.

The minister usually has the title of minister, not to mention the minister's order, which is often held by powerful ministers, three princes, and rank-and-file ministers. It is just a matter of recording the minister's affairs.

Even later, these few words, such as "recording the affairs of the minister, leading the affairs of the minister, and leveling the affairs of the minister," have almost become synonymous with powerful ministers.

But back to the present, the two eunuchs Cao Jie and Wang Fu actually hold the power of the government now. The entire Shangshu table is under the shadow of these two, especially the former. It doesn't matter who is the minister and who is the minister.

The servant shot.

As for Gongsun Xun?

At this time, he was just one of the thirty-six ministers in the Chancery, and he was still the most junior one. It had nothing to do with him whether he was a powerful minister or not.

"Are you the Gongsun Wenqi who is quite famous in Yanmen? I remember that you were a disciple of Wen Raogong and Lu Ziqian, and you also supervised the compilation of the Stone Classics of "Mao Shi"?" The person who asked the question was

Gongsun Xun's immediate boss for a period of time later, the Shangshu of the Duguancao (in charge of flood and fire disasters and theft prevention and security) among the six Caocao of the Shangshutai, added Liu Tao and Liu Ziqi with the title of Shizhong.

By the way, this tall man with a slim build and gray beard is a clan member of the Han Dynasty who was born in Yingchuan. He is also a famous Confucian at home. He has multiple identities such as being a scholar, a famous Confucian, and a clan member, and he is vaguely related to the Party.

He is somewhat secretly involved, but he can be regarded as a top official in the court.

However, there are two huge differences between him and Liu Kuan, who has a very similar identity.

First of all, Liu Kuan's father was a Situ, and he himself was a minister in the late emperor's dynasty. His family was naturally much higher than Liu Tao's;

Secondly, Liu Kuan was always worried when faced with the difficulty of the situation. He could pretend not to see it, but Liu Tao was worried. Whenever he saw something happened to the country, he would sigh.

Think before and after.

Of course, no matter what, this is not the reason for Gongsun Xun to think wildly at this time. When he came to the Chancellor's Desk on the first day, he heard this and hurriedly formally bowed to see him, and presented the official document of the Lang Office, and made some remarks

Self introduction.

"There is no need to be restrained." After hearing what he said, Liu Tao, who was sitting at the top, couldn't help but sigh as he twirled his gray beard. "I have also heard of your reputation. The country is in a difficult situation and it needs talents like you to come out to do things... However,

The work at the Chancellery is not like marching and fighting, so you must not bring in that kind of border customs, and you must be careful!"

"I will obey my orders!" his immediate superior instructed him, and of course Gongsun Xun had to be respectful.

"That's fine." Liu Taofu sighed again. "I still have an essay to write, so I won't explain it one by one... Weiyan, when the teacher is busy, the students should perform their duties. Since you are my student, you are also my student.

He is the most senior Shang Shulang in my Cao, so he took Wen Qi around the Cao for me, so that he could get to know his colleagues and explain his duties!"

"Here!" A middle-aged minister who happened to be nearby immediately stepped out of the queue and led Gongsun Xun out of Liu Tao's minister's office.

"I have admired the name of White Horse Zhonglang for a long time." This middle-aged Shang Shulang with a majestic name spoke clearly and moved neatly, but his accent was a bit weird. Together with the north wind that could be heard whistling outside the Tai Pavilion, Gongsun Xun was confused for a while.

lock up.

"But you can't get used to my accent?" This man seemed to be self-aware, so he immediately lowered his tone and laughed to himself.

"Brother Xian, please forgive me." Gongsun Xun quickly apologized with his hands slightly cupped.

"It doesn't matter." The man continued with a smile. "I am from Jiaozhou. It's natural that you can't get used to my accent when you first come here... As we get along with each other for a long time, you will gradually get used to it."

"Brother Xian is actually from Jiaozhou?!" Gongsun Xun was really surprised. "I am from western Liaoning, and I never thought that I would get to know someone from Jiaozhou..."

"Hahaha!" This person couldn't help but laugh, but because of the important location of Tai Pavilion and the many people coming and going around, he immediately stopped talking. "When I first came to Luozhong, I never thought that I would meet with Xiliang

, we all know each other from the disciples of Youyan Land, but after working in Shangshutai for three or four years, I know everyone."

"May I ask Brother Xian's name?" Gongsun Xun bowed seriously.

"Xie, a person from Guangxin in Jiaozhou, whose courtesy name is Weiyan." This person also slightly cupped his hand. "There is no need to mention your name, my dear brother. The Northern Expedition has been in the center for a long time, and your name is already familiar to me."

Gongsun Xun sighed: "I have actually admired Brother Shi's name for a long time... To be honest, Brother Shi, I already remembered your family's name as soon as you mentioned Jiaozhou."

"Jiaozhou is remote." Shi Xie didn't feel complacent about it. "And the edges are full of malaria and barbarians... so this is the only example of a Chinese family like our Shi family that has been reproducing there for six generations."

"Jiaozhou Guxuan." Gongsun Xun became more and more emotional. "If the central government wants to maintain its authority, it still needs to rely on a family like Brother Xian who cares about the court..."

"The Gongsun family is in western Liaoning... Anyway, since you and I are in the same rank, there will be time to talk about this in the future." Shi Xie couldn't help but grinned. "While everyone is still energetic in the morning, it is time to introduce me to you.

Colleagues.”

Gongsun Xun quickly nodded in agreement.

"There are six ministers in the Shangshutai. There should be six ministers like you and me in each of them." Shi Xie immediately gave a brief introduction as he walked.

"You're new here, how dare you, a young doctor, to be in the same row as a scholar brother?"

"Hey, the so-called doctor, minister, and minister are just seniority and have nothing to do with their duties." Shi Xie said unconcernedly. "Anyway, they all have to do things. In addition, there are three ministers and long history, which can be regarded as

Colleagues, but they do not have the authority to directly handle documents, but must directly assist the minister..."

Gongsun Xun looked astonished: "I saw two young men in Liu Gong's house just now. I guess he is one of them?"

"Exactly."

At this point, Shi Xie stood in the corridor of the minister's desk. He first briefly told Gongsun Xun the names of the other four ministers and three chief historians who were the officials of Zhongdu, and then took him with him.

I visited the other four ministers everywhere.

But...how to put it?

According to Shi Xie's introduction, these people are not just like him, but close disciples of Sangong, or like Shi Xie himself, so-called famous people... However, although all kinds of kind words were given to Gongsun Xun in person, it seemed that they were free of charge.

came out, but he couldn't help but feel secretly disappointed because he didn't hear a second name that felt as familiar to him as Shi Xie.

"Look, Wen Qi." Just as Shi Xie was about to take Gong Sun Xun out of the corridor and go somewhere, he suddenly saw a man walking over from a distance holding an official document box, and he immediately stopped. "These are the three of them.

He is the last one in the long history, so I just took the opportunity to meet him... He is younger than you, and he was just crowned this year, so he directly became a Langguan in the name of being familiar with the classics, and then entered the Shangshu table as a long history."

Gongsun Xun immediately nodded: "I know, as Brother Weiyan said before, Situ Yanggong (Yang Ci served as the third Duke for the second time) is the most beloved student... I remember just now, Brother Xian said that his name is Wang Yan, whose name is Jingxing?"

"Of course!" Shi Xie replied, waving from afar. "Jing Xing, come quickly to see this new doctor."

The extremely young Wang Yan's expression remained unchanged, and he came directly with the document in his arms. Then, before Gongsun Xun could speak, he took the lead in bowing: "Before I see you, there is something else that I should let these two wise brothers know... The day before yesterday, I

I followed my mentor Yang Gong, but he thought I was too old-fashioned, so he changed my name. Now my name is "Lang", which means "Lang"! "

"That's it." Before Shi Xie could react, Gongsun Xun could not help but laugh while clasping his hands. "It turns out it's Wang Lang and Wang Jingxing... This is a very good name!"

Wang Lang immediately frowned: "This wise brother should be Gongsun Zhonglang. I have also admired his name for a long time. It's just an important place. According to etiquette, you shouldn't make loud noises..."

Before he finished speaking, there was a sudden uproar behind Chang Shi, the old-fashioned and rigorous Shangshu, as if a large group of people ignored the 'etiquette' and walked straight along the corridor while making loud noises.

Wang Lang's face turned red, but he finally held the wooden box in his hand bitterly, then quickly lowered his head and left.

Gongsun Xun was extremely puzzled, so he quickly looked at his "old senior" Shi Xie, only to find that Shi Xie, Shi Weiyan, was actually looking at him with a complicated expression... This made the former even more puzzled.

Of course, just a moment later, Gongsun Xun's face suddenly became clear - because among the group of people who appeared at the corner of the corridor, the leader was clearly in official uniform with two thousand stones, and he was about forty years old, but he

White face and no beard.

"I've met Zhao Changshi!" Shi Xie bowed helplessly.

"I have met Zhao Changshi." Gongsun Xun, who was relieved, immediately bowed.

"What a majestic person," Zhao Zhongzhao Changshi raised his eyebrows and stopped in the corridor with his hands folded. "Is this your new doctor from Zhongdu Guan Cao?"

"Exactly."

"But the surname is Gongsun, from Liaoxi?"

"Exactly!" Gongsun Xun suddenly raised his head, looked directly at the other person and replied. "I am Gongsun Xun!"

Zhao Zhong squinted his eyes and looked at his niece-in-law for a while, but couldn't help but sneer: "Didn't your father-in-law teach you etiquette?"

With a shout, many rooms in the corridor, where the center of the imperial court was located, suddenly became silent.

"I'm not hiding anything from Chang Shi Zhao!" Gongsun Xun replied in a serious voice. "When I was summoned to Luo by the Third Duke, my father-in-law did teach me something before leaving. He said that if I go to Luozhong, I must not be with anyone who has lost the reputation of my family.

There is some contact..."

"Bold!" Zhao Zhong's forehead veins jumped, as if he was really angry.

"It's just telling the truth." Gongsun Xun was unafraid.

By the way...Although Gongsun Xun had already guessed that there was a tacit understanding between the 'Aunt Zhao' in front of him and his father-in-law, and meeting him as soon as he came to Shangshutai today made him confirm the existence of this tacit understanding. But since

It's a tacit understanding, so you must never make it clear...however your father-in-law scolds the eunuch, then you should scold the eunuch the same way. This is the best way to deal with it.

Otherwise, if there is a slight hint of wind here, the scholars will immediately throw the label of eunuch's son over there, and this is absolutely undesirable... After all, Gongsun Xun knows better than anyone else.

In the short term, eunuchs will definitely gain power, but in the long term, the gains will outweigh the losses!

Even people like Cao Mengde are ridiculed and discriminated against, let alone yourself?

Therefore, we must stand firm!
